As a Subject Matter Expert in philosophy, I assist the lab in training their Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve in areas such as philosophical reasoning, social reasoning, moral decision-making, and empathic perspective-taking. My expertise ensures that the models better understand complex ethical concepts and human emotions, fostering more thoughtful and nuanced interactions.
